Heya guys

Just checking in, YouTube streaming looking OK across the board tonight? I've been running stacks of tests (hopefully this post doesn't jinx anything) and so far so good.
I believe our network legends implemented better fixes last night a little past 21:00.

Youtube is rubbish atm

Last Result:
Download Speed: 2356 kbps (294.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 262 kbps (32.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
Latency: 46 ms
Fri Sep 04 2015 20:55:52 GMT+0200 (SAST)

And yet:
Can't pull more than 0.5 mbps on YT.
Downloading file from sony starts off wonderfully at 450 KB/s for the first few seconds and then drops to 50 KB/s.
Google play store updates run at about 0.3 mbps.

But guess what - yet again I can stream from a particular website at 3.2 mbps no problem (name withheld for fear that performance will "magically" drop for no reason). Same speeds when actually downloading the content from the same website.

And plus my feedback (um....rant) given last night was just ignored by the AH reps.

Apparently I have a fault at the exchange causing congestion, but I am highly confused now based on the results mentioned.

On one hand I am told that congestion affects mainly real time services eg streaming. So how can I stream from that particular website at 3.2 mbps no problem?

And on the other hand I get told that congestion will affect all protocols including non-realtime services - and yet p2p runs at 3.1 mbps even through a vpn routing through uk!!!

I really don't know anymore.
Anyone willing to help me understand this mess would be highly appreciated.

Noted someone else mention browsing issues.
Seems I've been hit by those.
Something's gone awfully wrong with Google search. It's dead at the moment. Had to use Bing... and I'm depressed. :(
 
Tried to BF4 servers tonight and for the first time on green, no packet loss. :) Normal AH account loads of loss.
 
Can't browse international atm, even after rebooting the router.

Edit: Seems only some international sites after affected. Weird.

Apparently something has gone wrong with IS. Hence everything is slow and Twitch is dead.

Some guy on this forum told me not long ago that Afrigreen is not on IS, contrary to popular belief.
 
speeds are down the crapper again this weekend looks like too much managing again
packet loss is at 3 % and latency is 465
what a crappy network
